Frequently folks ask for hints on tracking down light leaks by looking at developed pictures. Here are the two best ones I can offer...
(1) the image is upside down as it is imprinted onto the film...so please look in the opposite direction from the developed picture.
(2) if the developed picture shows light leak damage in colors...yellow, reddish, orange...it means light is striking the film from behind, that is on the back side of the film. If it shows damage in colors of white to gray, it means light is striking the film on the front side...producing the equivalent of an overexposed condition.
Just thought I'd mention this...I've had a couple of questions about this in the past few days.
